Electrification is a central part of the modern city’s cultural history. The article investigates the phenomenon with a case in Copenhagens development 1880- 1914, how the early development of electricity took part in a transformation of both urban space and the human body. As two systems, they were both becoming more accepted as artificially sustained and technologically accelerated with the advent of electrical power and networks. This unfinished investigation suggests how a possible cultural history of technology could relate traditional objects of historical study in new ways.
